Inappropriate

[@Alix777.]

@@marinadela1361 You think it's inappropriate ? Just try Sonata Erotica by Schulhoff, great composer btw. This, is inappropriate.

[@PhilipDaniel]

Grieg composed a similar Lyric Piece with the same title … Karg-Elert’s is a clear homage.

[@alfredbooth6854]

What wonderful pieces. It’s a shame you added nothing concerning this composer and his life.

[@yandrak6134]

??? you are literally on internet

[@karllieck9064]

Painfully derivative. Nope...nope.

[@orb3796]

Of...whom exactly..?

[@jonathanDstrand]

@@orb3796liszt / chopin, but does have an interesting german flavor maybe wagner if he were younger, a pianist, and not a political fugitive

[@NothingFunnyAboutTheseCarpets]

@@jonathanDstrand i would add scriabin and grieg

[@NothingFunnyAboutTheseCarpets]

I found them quite interesting pieces. I think the performer could have had a little more sensitivity to some harmonic details, so as to bring out the good stuff

[@Mofos_of_Metal]

Quite an ironic complaint to make because, of all lesser-known composers - Karg-Elert has quite an individual voice. I remember a friend who used to say that Debussy was derivative of Chopin. Sometimes you come to the conclusion that it's not the composers at fault, but rather - the listeners. An amateur ear is attuned to recognizing similarities... a trained ear recognizes that which is more unique.
